Kevinpackard. I do like the Packard Sportster model, having once owned a '54. Think you should buy this car if you can get it that cheap. $500 is not much over scrap value. That '41 coupe does look like a good project. I saw the ad myself and posted a link in one of my earlier posts. Hope someone on this site is willing to tackle it.

Ross. I agree. Really liked this one myself. I think it is of one the better buys I have seen lately on Facebook Marketplace. Too many of the Packards I see on that site are either trashed or are really overpriced. If that 400 were closer, I might want to look at it myself. Never had a V-8 Packard.

Few new ones I spotted today on FB Marketplace:

Saw this one today on Facebook:

1941 110 Coupe. Was a 42K original survivor car before being heavily damaged in a house fire. I think it is probably a total loss. What do you think? Can this Packard be saved? Car located in Missouri.

1935 1201 Sedan. Solid body, car is an unfinished street rod project with a Chevy V8. At least it appears that the body has not been altered. Ad states that it is a 1934, but it is a 1935 model and I'm reasonably certain that it is a 1201 Standard Eight Touring Sedan. Asking $12,000. NC location:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/763571769157625/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A8ded9eac-7a82-4e16-9acf-2231f6570f28

1953 Clipper Sedan. This is a base model Clipper, but ad has it incorrectly identified as a Deluxe model. Cheezy repaint in an incorrect color over obvious rust and an even cheezier incorrect interior in a modern fabric. Car also has an incorrect grille and hood ornament off of a 1951. Probably way overpriced at $8,500, but car does run and drive and has had much recent work done to it, including new brakes. Tennessee:

Few new ones this morning on FB:

1951 300. An antique store in Mississippi was apparently using this Packard to promote their business and now they want it gone. Unrestored and not running but does not look actually too bad. Has a 1952 model hood bird. Car is indoors, so it looks like this business is at one of those antique malls. Only $2,200:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/858610679371750/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Ac2ef1bba-f190-40e0-a95a-3bbd96d64cfe

1955 Patrician. Looks clean inside and out, but back end is dragging on the ground, so I would assume that there are issues with the Torsion Level ride system, among other things. Asking 14K. Interior is nice. Alabama:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/743894167802792/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Ac2ef1bba-f190-40e0-a95a-3bbd96d64cfe

1956 Clipper Constellation HT. Needs complete restoration, but West Coast body is very solid. Ad states car is originally from Oregon. Seller is apparently liquidating his collection as he has a number of other cars for sale including two Franklins, a 1935 Hupmobile, a 1951 Nash and a 1959 Edsel Station Wagon among others. Los Angeles Craigslist:

https://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/cto/d/oxnard-1956-packard-clipper/7716767072.html

1956 Super Clipper Panama HT. Very clean original car with one older repaint. Looks sharp in Color Scheme PM (Jamaican Yellow over Dover White). Estate Sale. Think this one is well worth the asking price of $12K. Odo shows 43K miles and this might be correct. Michigan:
